COMBINED CONFECTION AND WHISTLE.

Application filed April 2,

' which is attractive in appearance, inexpensive to manufacture, and which will readily lend itself to quantity production.

Other objects and certain advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description when taken in con nection with the accompanying drawings in which- I Figure 1 is a plan view of the article embodying my invention.

Figure 2 is an end view of the article as viewed from the top in Figure 1.

Figure 3- is a transverse sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is a longitudinal sectional View taken on line 4-4 of Figure 1.

Figure 5 is a view similar to that of Figure 3 showing the strip of paper placed in position prior to upsetting the adjacent margins of the candy body.

In the drawings wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown what I at present consider the preferred form of my invention, the numeral 5 indicates, as a whole, a lollypop, comprising a main body or candy portion 6, within which is embedded one end of a stick 7 which serves as a means by which the article may be held. The main body is so shaped or formed as to present a plurality of oppositely disposed outwardly extendmg side and end lobes 8 and 9, respectively. During the process of so forming the candy portion as to present the contour shown most clearly in Figure-1 the same is acted upon to provide a depression or ocket 10 and a channel 11. It will be note that the pocket or depression 10 is somewhat deeper than the channel 11 and that both the depression and the channel are so formed as to present a boundry ledge 12, 'the plane of which lies an appreciable distance below the face of the body portion thus forming a recess 13. The ledge 12 receives thereupon a strip 14 of paper or similar material which. is provided with an opening 15 and is adapted to snugly fit into the recess '13 bounding the depresslon or pocket 10 and the channel 11. This strip is adapted to be retained in proper position upon the ledge 12 by upset- 1924 Serial No. 703,584.

ting the candy adjacent the pocket 10 and recess 13 to form a bead 13 and thereafter forcin the same into intimate engagement with t e outer margins of the strip 14, as

shown in Figure 3. In this connection it will be readily appreciated that the upset ting may be easily accom lished while the candy portion of the article is in a more or less plastic condition incident to the moulding thereof and that after the candy is allowed to harden an effective means is afforded for permanently retaining the strip 14 sov positioned 'upon the ledge 12 that the opening 15 is maintained in the vicinity of the jointure of the pocket 10 with the channel 11 or directly above the abutment 16 which is formed due to the difference in depth between the pocket 10 and channel 11. 1 Having thus described certain embodi? ments of In invention what I claim is:

1. A cand y article comprising a body portion having a pocket formed therein, a perforated closure positioned over said pocket and havin its margin overlying that area of said bo y portion which is adjacent said ocket, and a bead formed integral with said ody portion and overlying said margin of said closure, said bead being in intimate sur- I face contact with said closure and cooperating therewith to form a seal for said pocket in the vicinity of said overlying margin of said closure, said closure cooperating with said pocket and said body portion to form a whistle.

2. A'candy article comprising a body portion having a pocket formed therein and provided with aledge lying below the surface of said body portion and bounding said pocket, a perforated closure positioned over said pocket and having its margin resting upon said led e, and a bead formed integral with said body portion and overlyin said margin of said closure, said bead being in intimate surface contact with said closure and cooperating therewith to form a seal for said pocket in the vicinity of said ledge, said' closure cosoperating with said ocket' and said body portion to form a whist e. a

3. A candy article comprising a body portion having a pocket formed therein and provided with a channel at one end of said pocket, said body ortion being provided with a ledge lying below the surface thereof and bounding said pocket and said channel, a perforated closure positioned over said pocket and said channel and having its margin resting upon said ledge, a bead said closure, said closure cooperating with formed integral with said body portion and said pocket and said channel and said body overlying said margin of said closure, said portion to form a whistle. 10 bead being in intimate surface contact with In testimony whereof, I have afiixed my 5 said closure and cooperating therewith to signature to this specification.
